slow speeds & strap lugs

When I want a strap, I screw the bottom half of a Zorki.5 case w/strap on my Zorki.1's & Leica.3's. It fits 'em all and works well. (I removed the lens cover top half.) Can't help ya much with adding slow speeds. If you come up with a resolution to that, let me know.

You got me fired up. Think I'll load a roll in my black Zorki.1d see what I run into today. Cheers!

Yep, I have modified the case of a couple of other FSU cameras I have so I can use 'em so but the case that came with this Zorki is not giving me much confidence--when I went to remove the top half, it just cracked off at the bottom(just in front of the rivets where I would've cut it) and the strap on it was gone before I got it.
The slow speeds are not something I would try to add; I don't really use them that often, I just like having options 😀 I suppose the shuter speed assembly from a Zorki 3m might be crammed into the Z.1 body?
I have finished the BW400CN and have loaded a roll of color, once this one is done I'll be sending them off for processing and then see if/what problems I may have. Fingers crossed for the next couple of weeks. 😉
Happy to lend you a little extra motivation, Reagan!
